Glentoran's league form of recent has seen the side jump from fighting for the split places, to 4th in the league table. Glentoran haven't lost in the league since 15th Januray, however that was against Ballymena Utd at The Oval. This form compiled with our place booked in the semi-final of the Irish Cup and beating St Pat's in the Setanta Cup has led to a happy time on the field of recent to counter the issues off it.
Admission prices for home supporters for Monday night's Setanta Cup tie against Sligo Rovers are as follows:
Season ticket holders, any adults wearing a 2012-13 home or away shirt and pensioners £3.
Adults £5
Children aged 11-18 £2
Under 11s free

4 first half goals put Sligo Rovers on course for a Setanta Sports Cup semi-final place. The home side went in front with just 2 minutes on the clock. A long, high ball to the edge of the Glentoran area saw Calum Birney and Rovers debutant, Anthony Elding challenge and the ball fell to the in rushing Lee Lynch who, unmarked, was able to smash it past Elliott Morris. The home team dominated with the young Glentoran side restricted to a few rare attacks, mainly through Jim O'Hanlon.

Glentoran only have a short distance to travel for their Irish Cup Quarter Final as they take on Knockbreda at Breda Park. Glentoran fans may be used to playing Knockbreda in pre-season games, but never in a game quite like this one. Tomorrow's game is undoubtedly the biggest in Knockbreda's history as they aim to qualify for the semi-final of the Irish Cup. For Glentoran however this game also could be billed as our biggest of the season with the Irish Cup being our last hope of domestic silverware.
The twice postponed Danske Bank Premiership game against Dungannon Swifts has been rearranged for Tuesday 19th March. The game kicks off at the Oval at 7.45pm.
